A new cosmism for the third millenium
Russian cosmism was one of the reasons why the Soviet Union was several steps ahead of the United States in the space race during the Cold War.
It all began with the mystical vision of Nikolai Fyodorovich Fyodorov, a librarian and Christian mystic, who, in the late 19th century, proposed the idea that our human mission in the new scientific era was to complete the work of Christ. What did this imply? The resurrection of all deceased people. Of course, upon achieving this part of the work, the need would arise to provide them with a place to live, since our planet would not be enough. The solution would be to populate the cosmos.
Although many ridiculed this mystic, others took him seriously. If completing Christ's work involves two steps: first, resurrecting all the dead; second, taking them to the cosmos, some considered it would be more practical to start working on the second step. Among them was Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, who would later be recognized as the father of cosmonautics.
What kind of cosmism are we asked to embody to fully enter the third millennium after Christ?
